I never want to discover exactly how much of my life has been spent grinding for experience points. Even discounting all the hours spent training Pokémon, it’s still going to be an uncomfortably large number thanks to my 18-year investment in RuneScape. Technically, I could find out at least how much time, down to the minute, I’ve spent in Gielinor by talking to an NPC called Hans. I don’t talk to Hans. I’ve long accepted that RuneScape is more of a life choice rather than a video game.
